Thinking of Buying Snohomish County Homes?

You have come to a great place to start. This site has all the latest listings in Woodinville homes and Bothell real estate including all Snohomish, Kirkland, Bellevue and all other parts of the Snohomish and King County market. I want to keep my clients up to date when a potential listing hits the market that they might be interested in. I research diligently all avenues of ways to find the right home for you.

As a buyer there are some things you can do to make the entire process go as smooth and hassle free as possible.

1. Get a pre-approval letter

You will want to get in touch with a lender you are comfortable with to sit down and go over all your finances and in's and out's of your income and debt. This will tell not only the lender and yourself how much home you can afford but also lets the seller know you are a serious buyer and determined to do your homework ahead of time. Having this letter to present to sellers when submitting an offer will let the sellers know you are committed to purchasing a home and are not wasting anyone's time. It may help the seller to steer towards your offer over any others.

2. Have earnest money and inspection funds ready to go.

These are typically funds that you will need out of pocket. Although there are still a number of ways to buy a home with zero down (USDA Loan), you will still need to have some liquid funds to show the seller you are again serious about the home and willing to put money down on it and for the inspector once you come to that point in the sale.

3. Always have an inspection

This last point leads to this one where I strongly urge all my clients to have a professional inspection on every home no matter if you planning on purchasing it or not. This is quite possibly your largest purchase and greatest investment and you will want to know everything about the home before you sign the final documents. Its also a great way to plan for the future and start setting some funds aside if you know the roof will need replacing in the future.

4. Be sure to have everything in writing.

As your agent, I will make sure all documents are signed, read through and all contingencies are in order but if there is something you don't understand, please don't hesitate to ask. I want to make sure all my clients know what they are signing and why and if you need further explanation on any one of the many sometimes confusing documents please let me know.

When buying any homes in the area be sure to let me know how I can help. Not only do I help buyers find and purchase their dream homes but I can market and sell all Woodinville and Kirkland homes including all in the Puget Sound area.
